Grandi Restaurant

$$

Though “grandi” means “big” in Papiamento, this tiny spot is quite the opposite—the trendy downtown hideaway opened in 2022 and specializes in authentic, artfully plated Italian fare with some fusion accents, and always a fresh catch of the day, oysters on the half shell, and a well-curated antipasto selection. Try the chef’s surprise small-plate menu, which you can pair with wines.
